Taxing to runway 19L:

Aircraft taxing to runway 19L usually take Kilo and make a left turn on the first taxiway then turn right on Echo then continue straight to Echo 1.

I’ll study more about the aircraft taxing to runways and put it in.

Don’t mean to crack down on your topic, but doesn’t this seem a bit lacking and unnecessary?

If proper procedures and specific information isn’t included (which it isn’t) this is no better than finding info from FlightAware…

When I need an airport guide I tend to look for something that will educate me on how to operate at an airport properly. Take for example @dca.iad.aviation’s “How to DCA”, it includes used SIDs/STARs, how to taxi, charts, etc., all the stuff I don’t know about but the stuff I’m looking for.

If you would go back and find more detail to add to this it would be great and a benefit to not only myself but whoever finds this topic.
